Instructions
-
Identify one high-value calculation or assessment your ICP needs (e.g., ROI calculator, maturity assessment, cost comparison tool); validate demand by searching Reddit or communities for related questions.
-
Build a simple interactive tool using Google Sheets or Airtable with input fields for user data and formulas that calculate results automatically.
-
Create an embeddable version or simple landing page with the tool; require email to access results or download a PDF report.
-
Write supporting content around the tool: explanation of methodology, example scenarios, interpretation of results; optimize for SEO with target keywords.
-
Set up PostHog to track tool usage: tool_opened, fields_filled, results_viewed, email_submitted, pdf_downloaded.
-
Set pass threshold: ≥50 tool uses and ≥15 email captures within 3 weeks.
-
Publish the tool on your website; share on LinkedIn, Twitter, and relevant communities with a compelling hook ("Calculate your X in 60 seconds").
-
Monitor PostHog for user behavior: identify drop-off points (which fields cause users to abandon), completion rate, and conversion rate.
-
After 3 weeks, analyze results: count total uses, email captures, and any downstream conversions (demos booked, signups).
-
If you hit the threshold, document the tool concept and lead capture mechanism and proceed to Baseline; if not, simplify the tool or choose a more compelling use case.
